141 St Marks Place is a 5-story, 42-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Marvin Basch. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints in late 2023 and early 2024 affecting the entire building. More recently, in August 2024, there were complaints about pest infestations, including two unsanitary conditions-related complaints, as well as issues with plumbing (water supply), window frames, and flooring.

The building underwent significant maintenance inspections in August 2024, revealing multiple violations in Apartment 2G, including problems with mold, pests (roaches and mice infestations), bathroom fixtures, window sashes, and plastered surfaces, though many of these violations were subsequently closed after remediation. The property has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including water leaks, with a heavy flow complaint in late 2023 that was closed in 2024. The building's infrastructure has been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings violations and ECB violations between 2018 and 2022, particularly regarding electrical wiring and building maintenance compliance. Recent bedbug reports indicate ongoing monitoring of pest control measures, with two infested units reported in the 2023-2024 period, though they were marked as having been eradicated.

The building has passed recent rodent inspections, with a failed initial inspection in early 2023 followed by compliance in March 2023. The property has seen various repairs and compliance issues regarding the elevator system and exterior maintenance, including a significant stucco issue documented in 2018. Work permits related to electrical wiring were issued in 2021, suggesting some infrastructure upgrades were undertaken. The building's management has generally responded to HPD complaints, with inspections conducted, though some repeated complaints indicate persistence of certain maintenance issues.
